GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 695064
You can't resize the window if you aren't in the first tab.

Steps to reproduce this bug: 1. open gnome-terminal 2. open a new tab 3. make sure the new tab is active (focused) 4. resize the window 5. switch to any other window 6. switch back to gnome-terminal What is expected to happen: Gnome-terminal (the window) should have the size I resized it to in step 4. What actually happens: Gnome-terminal (the window) has "reverted" it's size to before step 4. Workaround: Activate the first (leftmost) tab and resize the window. The window will stay the size I resized it to. Something worth noting: If I resize the with the first tab activated and repeat step 2 to 6 the window will reset to the window size associated with "tab 1"
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
